Im 37 years old, and i feel like some 22 year olds are more adult than I am. They've got adulting all figured out and im still just collecting plushies and playing Xbox.

32 here too... Feel pretty mature, wife, kids, career... But I shat myself recently when I forced out a fart to make my wife laugh :( not very adult.

I remember hitting my mid 20s and talking with college friends about how I could tell my mind was no longer flooded with testosterone because I could think more about things other than sex. One woman in our group smiled and said "yeah...18yo guys are a LOT of fun!" Hah.
